Despite another double-double from Cinmeon Bowers, Auburn once again struggled to find a consistent rhythm on offense and fell to Vanderbilt, 86-57 Saturday night, Feb. 13, the seventh consecutive game the Tigers have dropped.
With the news Thursday, Feb. 11, that Kareem Canty would no longer be with the team as he leaves to enter the NBA Draft, the Tigers were forced to scramble.
Bowers poured in 12 points and 15 rebounds, but Auburn shot 29 percent from the field on the night, while Vanderbilt connected on 49.3 percent of its shots.
After falling behind early, the Tigers were within 18-15 of the Commodores, but Vanderbilt went on a 19-7 run to end the half and enter the break up 37-22.
The visitors coasted through the second half, pushing their lead to as much as 38 points with under seven minutes remaining.
TJ Lang and Bryce Brown each added 14 points for Auburn, who fell to 9-15 (3-9) on the year.
The Tigers will be on the road at Arkansas on Tuesday, Feb. 16, at 6 p.m. as they look to pick up their first conference road win of the year.
